Ok. So it looks like the weather is going to be great this weekend ( atleast warm enough to paint at 62). After that the clamps should be in early next week. So I should have a mounted and paint shell by the end of next week.

We will see about that. It will be painted but not sure how. My buddy owns a auto body shop so if I go with a matching color. That would be the route but as he told me red is the most expensive color to paint. So I kinda sucks the paint material is going to cost twice what I paid for the camper...
I am new to this forum. I have a 2012 Ford F-150 5.0 v8 extended cab 6.5 bed and I am starting a camper shell build and thought I would post about it here. I have found some great ideas in this forum and figured I would start a thread of my own project. So here are some start of the project...
